Evacuation warning issued due to landslide risk along Arroyo Seco Road
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office issued an evacuation warning Tuesday for areas along Arroyo Seco Road and tributary roads to the west of East Carmel Valley Road.
Officials say there is a risk of a landslide above Arroyo Seco Road at milepost 5 which could block the road and potentially cause upstream flooding on the Arroyo Seco River.
The warning covers areas of Millers Ranch and the Arroyo Seco Campground.
A soft road closure has been established at the intersection of Arroyo Seco Road and East Carmel Valley Road.
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office urges any residents who feel unsafe to leave immediately without waiting for an evacuation order. Check with your neighbors to make sure they have been made aware of this alert.
